During this presentation experts, including current OSEP grantees, discussed what we know about: determining the factors that drive high expectations, such as child, family and other stakeholder engagement, how to support each child and family in establishing and meeting those expectations, working towards each child having access to an education that meets her or his unique and individual needs, how high expectations relate to State academic content standards, and incorporating evidence-based practices in the IEP. All of this will be presented in light of how these practices and principles relate to the United States Supreme Court in Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District RE-1, commonly referred to as “Endrew F.”
The topic of this symposium was supporting high-quality special education services to children with disabilities by addressing the capacity needs of educators, IEP (individualized education program) teams, and administrators to develop and implement quality IEPs.

Individuals who have trained in the same profession and do related work have a lot in common. Crossorganizational partnerships provide structures for individuals to find each other and pursue topics that are of shared importance to them. Partnerships help individuals to define their roles and develop shared beliefs and practice standards. Increasingly, partnerships are going beyond the boundaries of defined organizational missions and collaborating with external groups that are influential in creating changes that they support.
Few practices span the boundaries separating people who do shared work as successfully as virtual collaboration. New technologies offer opportunities to join together in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Today, we have the potential to learn from and with individuals working across the state, across the nation, and across the world. Virtual collaboration has important implications for advancing practice because it holds the potential to open communication among individuals with varying perspectives, diverse experiences, and differing roles who might not interact in its absence. The reach of virtual networks greatly expands the ability to engage leaders and implementers across boundaries that often separate people who have a common interest in an issue.
